How Many Republicans Died Because the GOP Turned Against Vaccines?
The Atlantic ^ | Yasmin Tayag

Posted on 02/12/2023 12:52:34 PM PST by nickcarraway

Party leaders are unquestionably complicit in the premature deaths of their own supporters.

No country has a perfect COVID-vaccination rate, even this far into the pandemic, but America’s record is particularly dismal. About a third of Americans—more than a hundred million people—have yet to get their initial shots. You can find anti-vaxxers in every corner of the country. But by far the single group of adults most likely to be unvaccinated is Republicans: 37 percent of Republicans are still unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated, compared with 9 percent of Democrats. Fourteen of the 15 states with the lowest vaccination rates voted for Donald Trump in 2020. (The other is Georgia.)

We know that unvaccinated Americans are more likely to be Republican, that Republicans in positions of power led the movement against COVID vaccination, and that hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated Americans have died preventable deaths from the disease. The Republican Party is unquestionably complicit in the premature deaths of many of its own supporters, a phenomenon that may be without precedent in the history of both American democracy and virology.

How can Republicans be against the vaccine, when a Republican created it, and proudly proclaims it?

I personally wear this accusation as a badge of honor, speaking as someone who did not take any Covid vaccination.

Sort of like being a Deplorable or Ultra MAGA.

The🐂💩 runs deep with these people. Trump talked Ivermectin and HCL very early before the vax. It worked for me.

I think we should post everything about the vaccine/unvaccinated. You want to sweep it under the rug and ignore it?

Yes, was going to say that I highly doubt that the Atlantic gives a rat's booty if any Republicans died from Covid.

I suspect that the numbers may change after a few years.
